the morning started off with half a dozen animals (and half of them sick!) breaking into her apartment during a pet drive event on the lot. but saylee did take a liking to one in particular! everyone, meet teddy.

hacker voice: "i'm in"

while out to leave an offering of fruit at the spirit house, saylee ran into one of her neighbors, sebastian. new to tomarang, he asked for some local tips and ideas of how to spend his time. "been to the night market yet?" "can't say that i have." "i was just about to head that way! follow me."

grandpa chai invited saylee over for dinner and imparted some wisdom while she was there. she left feeling a bit lighter and more excited about what her future might hold.

"edie, wait - " she turned, though the smile that she had been prepared with quickly faltered once edith saw henry. "...oh." was all she managed. "oh?" henry was smiling, an eagerness in his eyes that she didn't have the heart to argue with. "that's all?" "of course not, henry," edie relented, pulling her friend into a hug and holding tight, as if her arms along might keep him here in britchester. they were in their final year, so close to graduating and sorting our the rest of their lives. but who knew if they would even get that chance now. "hey, don't," his voice was gentle, nudging her back enough to see the tears threatening to spill. "i'll be back before you know it, alright? you'll see." "you'd better," somehow she managed a small laugh, charmed again by the same farm boy naivete that he'd first come to the university with four years ago. "i mean it. don't make me come all the way out there myself to drag you back." for the first time, his mood faltered. something nervous passed over his face, perhaps a short lived understanding of the gravity of what he was being sent into. "i won't," he said quietly. "i'll miss you," she said, tugging at his arm like a child. "all of you." "but me specifically, yeah?" there it was again, that self assured grin. "you specifically," she confirmed, leaning close. "yes."

and following one more night of companionship, drinks, and games with his friends, edward roy heads out to serve in the army come morning. the spring semester carries on without him, the world continues to spin, and his friends await news of his journey and that of their own inevitable departures.

"it's not volunteering if you don't actually have a choice, richard." "i didn't say i volunteered. only that it's my choice, that if my country needs me i'm willing to serve." "what choice? enlist or what? be arrested?" the debate had been going on for a while at this point, but that wasn't anything new. since returning for the spring semester, henry and the other two boys had signed up for the selective service, which - to edie's exact point - had been required. still, the three had done so with a lofty sense of patriotism, lured in by the posters and speakers who promised gloried heroics and a life of greater purpose. henry often wondered if edie struggled to understand it because enlistment wasn't an opportunity for her. it had been the four of them since that first fall semester. this was the first time she'd been intentionally excluded on the basis of her gender. "look, eds, i get what you're saying. i do. i can only speak for myself in this moment, and i'm proud to have signed up. but really, what are the odds that-" "is that a uniform?" henry interrupted the conversation as edward rounded the corner into their section of the library. the other two stared, eyes wide in a mix of awe and horror. "don't get your knickers in a twist, alright?" edward chuckled and took the remaining seat. "yeah, i got my orders." the continued silence that followed was clearly not what he expected. he continued, sensing his friends' uncertainty at whether they should offer congratulations or condolences. "look, we all know i was never going to make it at the banks like my dad wants. i'm only here at university because i have no fucking clue what else to do. but this... this is a chance for me to make something of myself. to really be something." edie slumped back against her chair, defeated, but did not argue. henry leaned forward in his seat to avoid doing the same. foolishly, he realized he had always assumed that they would ship out together. not one at a time like this. "when do you leave?" richard asked. "24 hours." another round of stunned silence. henry broke it tentatively, offering a grin. "then what the hell are we doing at the library?! let's get you to the pub!"
